Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein the image data and the three-dimensional data are simultaneously acquired.

3

3. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein the three-dimensional data acquisition device includes one of a stereo camera, a laser scanner, or a time-of-flight camera.

4

4. The image processing method according to claim 2, wherein the three-dimensional data acquisition device includes one of a stereo camera, a laser scanner, or a time-of-flight camera.

5

5. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of pieces of image data are two-dimensional color image data.

6

6. The image processing method according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of pieces of image data are two-dimensional color image data.

7

7. The image processing method according to claim 3, wherein the plurality of pieces of image data are two-dimensional color image data.

8

8. The image processing method according to claim 4, wherein the plurality of pieces of image data are two-dimensional color image data.

9

9. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

10

10. The image processing method according to claim 2, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

11

11. The image processing method according to claim 3, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

12

12. The image processing method according to claim 4, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

13

13. The image processing method according to claim 5, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

14

14. The image processing method according to claim 6, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

15

15. The image processing method according to claim 7, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

16

16. The image processing method according to claim 8, wherein in estimating a plane, estimating the plane after segmentation of the plurality of pieces of three-dimensional data is included.

17

17. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein in selecting image data, selection based on an overlapping rate of image data for forming the plane is included.

18

18. The image processing method according to claim 2, wherein in selecting image data, selection based on an overlapping rate of image data for forming the plane is included.

20

20. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing an image processing program for causing a computer to execute the image processing method according to claim 1.
